The Autonomous Agents and MultiAgent Systems (AAMAS)
conference series brings together researchers from
around the world to share the latest advances in the
field. It provides a marquee, high-profile forum for
research in the theory and practice of autonomous
agents and multiagent systems. AAMAS 2002, the first
of the series, was held in Bologna, followed by
Melbourne (2003), New York (2004), Utrecht (2005),
Hakodate (2006), Honolulu (2007), Estoril (2008),
Budapest (2009) and Toronto (2010). You are now
about to enter the proceedings of AAMAS 2011, held
in Taipei, Taiwan, as AAMAS celebrates its 10th
anniversary as the successful merger of three
related events that had run for some years
previously.
In addition to the general track for the AAMAS 2011
conference, submissions were invited to three
special tracks: a Robotics track, a Virtual Agents
track and an Innovative Applications track. The aims
of these special tracks were to give researchers
from these areas a strong focus, to provide a forum
for discussion and debate within the encompassing
structure of AAMAS, and to ensure that the impact of
both theoretical contributions and innovative
applications were recognized. Each track was chaired
by a leader in the field: Maria Gini for the
robotics track, James Lester for the virtual agents
track, and Peter McBurney for the innovative
applications track. The special track chairs
provided critical input to selection of Program
Committee (PC) and Senior Program Committee (SPC)
members, and to the reviewer allocation and the
review process itself. The final decisions
concerning acceptance of papers were taken by the
AAMAS 2011 Program Co-chairs in discussion with, and
in full agreement with the special track chairs.
Only full paper submissions were solicited for AAMAS
2011. The general, robotics, virtual agents, and
innovative applications tracks received 452, 31, 51,
and 41 submissions respectively, for a total of 575
submissions.
After a thorough and exciting review process, 126
papers were selected for publication as Full Papers
each of which was allocated 8 pages in the
proceedings and allocated 20 minutes in the Program
for oral presentation. Another 123 papers were
selected as Extended Abstracts and allocated 2 pages
each in the proceedings. Both Full Papers and
Extended Abstracts are presented as posters during
the conference.
Of the submissions, more than half (338) have a
student as first author, which indicates an exciting
future for the field. Representation under all
submissions of topics (measured by first keyword)
was broad, with top counts in areas such as
teamwork, coalition formation, and coordination
(31), distributed problem solving (30), game theory
(30), planning (26), multiagent learning (24), and
trust, reliability and reputation (17).
We thank the PC and SPC members of AAMAS 2011 for
their thoughtful reviews and extensive
discussions. We thank Maria Gini, James Lester and
Peter McBurney for making the Robotics, the Virtual
Agents and the Innovative Applications tracks a
success. We thank Michael Rovatsos for putting
together the proceedings. Finally, we thank David
Shield for his patience and support regarding
Confmaster during every stage between the submission
process and the actual AAMAS 2011 event. The Program
represents the intellectual motivation for
researchers to come together at the Conference, but
the success of the event is dependent on the many
other elements that make up week theespecially the
tutorials, workshops, and doctoral consortium. We
thank all members of the Conference Organising
Committee for their dedication, enthusiasm, and
attention to detail, and wish to particularly thank
Von-Wun Soo as Chair of the Local Organising
Committee for his contributions.
